Las Vegas, NV (February 1, 2012) — Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) today reported record financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, and declared an annual dividend of $1.00 per share.


Fourth Quarter Overview

We are pleased to report record financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011. Strong growth and record EBITDA margin at our Macao property portfolio, together with continued growth at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and a solid performance from our domestic properties contributed to record revenue, operating income and EBITDA for the quarter.

The strong cash flow, liquidity and financial position of the company have allowed us to declare a recurring annual dividend. The Las Vegas Sands board of directors declared yesterday an annual dividend of $1.00 per common share to be paid quarterly, with the initial payment to be made on March 30, 2012 to shareholders of record on March 20, 2012.

The Board of Directors of Sands China Ltd., the company’s majority-owned subsidiary which owns and operates the company’s Integrated Resort properties and other assets in Macao, declared on January 31, 2011 a dividend of HK$0.58 per share which is expected to be paid to Sands China Ltd. shareholders on or about February 28, 2012 to shareholders of record on February 20, 2012.

In Macao, we experienced higher gaming volumes across our property portfolio, while adjusted property EBITDA reached a record $434.2 million and adjusted property EBITDA margin expanded to reach a market-leading 33.4%.  The consistent growth of our higher margin mass table and slot businesses, together with the contribution from the important non-gaming (hotel, retail, mall and convention) components of our Integrated Resort business model, continue to drive revenue and EBITDA growth.  We are also pleased to report that the initial investments we have made to expand our offerings in the VIP segment are clearly evident in our quarterly operating results, with the Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Plaza Casino generating a record quarterly EBITDA of $63.0 million and increasing its Rolling Chip volume by 63.9% compared to the same quarter last year.  We expect to realize additional benefits from our initiatives in the VIP segment in the quarters ahead, as we roll out additional enhanced VIP facilities and service offerings throughout our existing property portfolio in 2012.
 
We are extremely excited to be approaching the debut of the largest Integrated Resort development in the company’s history, Sands Cotai Central, the first phase of which will open approximately eight weeks from today.    Located at the center of the COTAI Strip and directly across from The Venetian Macao and the Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Plaza Casino, the 13.7 million square foot Integrated Resort will add substantial scale to the COTAI Strip and will feature amenities and attractions designed to broaden and deepen Macao’s appeal as a destination for business and leisure travelers.  Importantly, Sands Cotai Central will feature at completion more than 6,400 hotel rooms, which are a vital component for the future growth and continued maturation of the meetings, incentive, convention and exhibition business in Macao.  We are confident that Sands Cotai Central will meaningfully contribute to important multi-night business and leisure visitation to Macao and will provide another strong platform for growth for our company.
 
In Singapore, Marina Bay Sands produced a record $426.9 million of adjusted property EBITDA during the quarter and an EBITDA margin of 52.9%.  Strong growth in VIP, mass gaming and slot volumes coupled with continued growth in visitation and non-gaming revenue streams including hotel, food and beverage, retail and entertainment reflect the broad appeal of the property to Singapore’s visitors from across the Asian region.  Looking ahead, as Singapore’s complementary business and leisure tourism offerings and transportation infrastructure continue to expand, we are confident that Marina Bay Sands will generate meaningful growth and outstanding returns for our company.

In Las Vegas, The Venetian and Palazzo generated $80.9 million in adjusted property EBITDA during the quarter, slightly ahead of the fourth quarter last year.  Table games drop was up 14.9% during the quarter reflecting strong baccarat play.  Cash revenues from occupied rooms increased by more than 15% compared to the same quarter last year.  In addition, 91% of our occupied rooms during the quarter were sold to cash-paying customers, compared to 82% in the fourth quarter of 2010.  RevPAR increased 13.0% as our FIT, group meeting and convention businesses expanded.  Sands Bethlehem produced a record fourth quarter with $22.5 million in adjusted property EBITDA.  The property continues to benefit from growth in slot handle, table games play, and hotel revenues.

The reliable and predictable nature of the cash flows generated by our Integrated Resort business model, the successful execution of our deleveraging strategy, and the healthy margin profile of our property portfolio remain evident in our financial results.  While we again achieved quarterly records for net revenue and adjusted property EBITDA, we are also pleased that the flow through to earnings remained strong, with adjusted earnings per diluted share increasing 35.7% to reach $0.57, compared to $0.42 in the quarter one year ago.
 
 
Company-Wide Operating Results

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was a record $2.54 billion, an increase of 26.3% compared to $2.02 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 30.0% to a record $960.6 million, compared to $738.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA margin increased 110 basis points to 37.8% in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 36.7% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, operating income in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 35.7% to reach $663.3 million, compared to $488.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in operating income was principally due to stronger results across our portfolio of properties in Macao and at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Adjusted net income (see Note 1) increased to $460.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $340.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 17.2% to $320.1 million, compared to $273.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, while diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 14.7% to $0.39, compared to $0.34 in the prior year quarter. The improvement in our net income attributable to common stockholders reflects the increase in operating income, partially offset by increases in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (primarily Sands China Ltd.), and preferred stock inducement, repurchase and redemption premiums.

Full year 2011 net revenue increased 37.3% to a record $9.41 billion, compared to $6.85 billion in 2010. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA in 2011 increased 58.5% to a record $3.53 billion, compared to $2.23 billion in 2010. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA margin increased 500 basis points to 37.5% in 2011, compared to 32.5% in 2010.

Adjusted net income (see Note 1) was a record $1.64 billion in 2011, or $2.02 per diluted share, compared to $775.0 million, or $0.98 per diluted share in 2010.

On a GAAP basis, full year 2011 operating income increased 102.4% to a record $2.39 billion in 2011, compared to $1.18 billion in 2010.  Net income attributable to common stockholders increased 211.6% to $1.27 billion, or $1.56 per diluted share in 2010, compared to $407.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in 2010. The improvement in our net income attributable to common stockholders reflects the increase in operating income and lower net interest expense, partially offset by increases in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (primarily Sands China Ltd.), income tax expense, and preferred stock inducement, repurchase and redemption premiums.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Other Asia adjusted property EBITDA, which is principally composed of our CotaiJet ferry operation, was negative $3.8 million during the quarter.

Pre-opening expenses, related primarily to Sands Cotai Central on the COTAI Strip in Macao, increased to $22.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $17.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $197.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $184.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $68.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $74.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease was principally the result of a lower average borrowing cost as well as lower debt balances outstanding in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.  Capitalized interest was $29.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $31.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2010.  Our weighted average borrowing cost in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 3.8%.

Corporate expense was $51.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily driven by higher legal fees, as well as higher incentive compensation expense attributable to the company’s improved operating performance.

Other income, which was principally composed of foreign currency gains, was $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to other expense of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2011 was 10.2%. The tax rate is primarily driven by a provision for the earnings from Marina Bay Sands at the 17% Singapore income tax rate.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the fourth quarter of $89.1 million was principally related to Sands China Ltd.

During the quarter, the company elected to redeem all of its outstanding 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $110 per preferred share. The preferred stock inducement, repurchase and redemption premium realized during the quarter was $97.6 million and the total cash required for the repurchases and redemption during the quarter was $780.7 million.


Balance Sheet Items

Unrestricted cash balances as of December 31, 2011, were $3.90 billion, while restricted cash balances were $7.1 million.

As of December 31, 2011, total debt outstanding, including the current portion, was $10.03 billion. Total principal payments in 2012 and 2013, which principally relate to our Singapore Credit Facility, are approximately $455.8 million and $530.0 million, respectively.


Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter totaled $420.9 million, including construction and development activities of $308.0 million in Macao, $73.1 million at Marina Bay Sands, $30.1 million in Las Vegas and $9.7 million at Sands Bethlehem.
